Ahead of the Egyptians.

Talk about Egyptian embalming, said Chicago undertaken. Why, it don't compare with what we do nowadays. Those old Egyptians didn't know what srt was in the profession of undertaking, There is too much nonsense aflOat about the lost art of emhalming as practiced by the Egyptians In tine first place their climate is of kind Co preserve dead ani- nal tissue whether it is embalmed or not lt is very dry in Egypt and the temperature Is even. The boaSted mum mics of Egypt are simply dried up speci- mems of skin and bones. To-day We can embalm a body so that it will preserve the fullness and hue of life, and it will never dry up at all IT the modern pro cess of embalming had been known Co the Egyptians of several thousand years, those old kings who were laid away in the pyramids for Us moderns tO look at instead of presenting the appearance of tanned leather would have the kingly dignity of form and feature which was theirs when their bodies were laid away for the last long sleep. .'-Chica-O Paper

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking of of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, DO doubt has largely benefited the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home msnu- lecturers. Especially IS this the case with Greens August Flower and Bos- chee's German Syrup, as the reduction of thIrty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giv- ing One-hfth more medicine n the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dys- pepsis and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough snd Lung troubles. have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines ID the world. The sd- vantage of increased size ot the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, n eysry town and village m civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size.

 April 4, 1885.
 On the 27th of February. 1888, I was taken with a violent pain in the region of the kidneys. l suffered such agony that could hardly stand up. As soon as possible l applied two ALIcoCK's PoR- OUs PLAsTERs, one over each kidney. and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had vanished and l was well. l wore the plasters for a day or two as a precautiOn. and then removed them. ! have been using ALIcoCK's PoRoUs PLAsTERs in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and best external remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affections. From my experience I be- ieve they are the best piasters in the world. HENRY C. NELSON.
